Title: Ties That Still Bind
Chapter 1: Entanglements
Monaco's most sought-after wedding planner was thriving—tailored suits, client lists full of royalty, and a perfectly curated life.
Until he walked in.
Lando Norris. The one she loved. The one she left. Now sitting across from her… planning someone else’s wedding.
Not just any someone. His best friend. And he has questions.
The kind that unravel everything she worked so hard to bury.
——————————————— 💬 "I was scared." ———————————————
She’s mastered the art of smiling through grief. Of looking untouched while everything inside her still bleeds.
But old love doesn’t die easy.
And this time, he’s not letting her run.
📖 A story of tension beneath pressed linen, love buried beneath ambition, and the unspoken truths that haunt the ones who walked away too soon.
📝 Note from the Author: Ties That Still Bind was inspired by a Harry Potter one-shot titled “Love and All Things Fake” (James Sirius Potter), written by the incredibly talented author everlovingdeer from Wattpad.
I have always loved that one-shot, always going back to it. The way it captured emotion, subtlety, and longing stayed with me. They are a wonderful writer with a whole collection of stories worth reading.
That’s why one day, I said to myself: why not create a version of that feeling, but for someone else? This story still carries the emotional essence of that original fic—the same ache, the same questions—but with different characters, settings, and with a full closure… if you know what I mean?
But if any of you feel that it shouldn’t have been done this way, if it feels too similar, if it disrespects the original, I genuinely want to say I’m sorry. I never intended for this to feel like plagiarism. I just wanted to explore what that kind of story might look like with a different ending. Second chance, healing, and a wedding.
Please feel free to share your thoughts. If this crosses a line, I will absolutely take it down, no hesitation. I mean that. Your comments mean so much to me, and your honesty helps me grow. I never want to hurt any writer, especially not one whose work has inspired me so deeply.
This version is my love letter to that inspiration.
Chapters coming soon. 🥂🧡
